Miracles kidding thead

[SandDherds]

Hello everyone I bought a goat about 2 weeks back they said she was heavily pregnant but they don't have a due date! They said they had a note saying they were breeding in september so if she was bred in the very first days of september she is pretty close! So might aswell start a thread

Miracle is a sweet little myotonic doe I love her to pieces! Here's a picture of her

And I'm not sure of who the father could be be here are the goats that were with her

(miracles the first goat in the row of 3 the mostly black one) she could have been bred with any of these goat

they said they think the tri color buck got her (I hope so!) I'm hoping for a blue eyed doeling from what I can tell there is only one kid in her but we'll see


Questions:

Question(1) how soon to kidding do they bag up miracle is a First Freshener and she has an udder but not big or tight


Question (2) is thick white (toothpaste white sticky too) discharge a cause for concern? When it dries it get yellow


Question(3) last question) when does their vulva become really puffy hers has been the whole 2 weeks I've had her


Anyways that's I want to ask I'll get some pics of the discharge when I go to check her in an hour or two also will get some pics of her udder. All pics are from the first day I got her. Right now she is getting loose minerals freechoice,alfalfa, and some sweet feed about 1/2 cup a day. Oh and also I'll get some pics of my Nigerian doe who I really hope is almost 2 months pregnant she was bred to an Alaskan chapion Nigerian buck so babies will be registered when they are born.

What a cutie!

White discharge is normal, could be the mucus plug which means she is getting closer. So exciting isn't it, I will be watching this thread for baby pics

Okay so its about 10pm and went out to check all the discharge was dry I checked ligaments they are still there they are movable but are still hard so I'm not going to to 1/2 hour checks tonight (hopefully not a mistake) anyways here are the pics I took I'll get more tommorow morning!sorry pics are bad i had to have flash on

Welcome from Ohio, and congrats on your new goat! Is this her first kidding?

Welcome to the wonderful world of kidding. Read about the "doe code of honor". It will give you insight into the road your about to travel. One that I am almost positive every goat owner who breeds has traveled before you.

From what I can tell that would be her mucus plug. Every goat is different on when they will kid after loosing said plug, when they bag up and how crazy they decide to make you while you wait & try to figure out when to be there. I currently have one that has been driving me insane for a couple of weeks.

It's fun, it's crazy and then you get these tiny adorable little ones that are on their feet in no time.

Good luck and please plenty of pictures.

Greetings @SandDherds from the front range in Colorado Welcome to BYH! She's a sweet looking doe! Congrats on being an "about to be" kidding mom! If she is bred to that tri, you should have some awesome colorful kids! From the pics you shared, and since you say she's a FF, I'm going to GUESS that she's still at least a week or more away. Someone mentioned "Doe code" so my guess could be off by about 2 weeks or so, depending on how crazy she wants to make you

looking forward to pics when the day arrives and the kids are here! Glad you joined and look fwd to reading more!

I hope you weren't serious when you said:
